  1. I love seeing kilts, national dress (no matter from where!) and other garb that folks put together for formal nights. One of the most memorable were some Japanese folks who did the full on kimonos and men with those fabulous wide pants, sashes, etc. Another along the same line, but totally different was a gentleman for the west who wore a black suit, fabulous "formal" boots, a bolo tie with a chunk of turquoise that would choke his horse and a stunning black stetson. He looked terrific!

    So, please bring and wear your kilt!

  2. I totally agree with all of the above posters who say "go for it"....it's your vacation and you should do what you'd like. A martini at tea would hardly be the strangest thing I've seen on Cunard!

    Don't get me started on that thought......giggle!

  3. I quite enjoyed the short read by Alan Cumming.....and I didn't mind his coat one bit. 

    I think Cunard is probably the only line that I know of that has "miles" of comments on dress.  It's one of the things that makes people watching such fun!

    And as far as the plaid coat, we've seen it all.....The fellow with the rumbled jacket and wrinkled tie, attending formal night activities as well as the (much) older lady in tiarra and sparkly shoes. 

    As long as it fits (at least sort of...) the dress for the evening, who am I to throw stones.....

    We were in the Mandarin Oriental for our November cruise, however it was being demolished early this year, to make way for a new apartment complex. Other passengers were located at the Intercontinental. 

    We just stayed at the Mandarin in early Feb. this year. Fabulous hotel....and not demolished!

  5. Some good points above.

    However after all of the add ons with the premium lines (port taxes, service charges/tips, specialty restaurants, shore excursions, and last but not least, drink packages) you come pretty close to what a "bottom of the boat" fare is for Regent. Oh, and I almost forgot above, air fare. 

    So are far as we're concerned, Regent is actually a bargain ....

    And as a lazy so and so, it's all done for you.......

    Look at it this way... the longer we sit at the bar, the better the stories get.  Just make sure we can use our hands.  After all, no aviation story has been told without hand movement!  🤣

    There must be even a little Italian in you!
